# Quickstart

From sign-up to a working app in minutes: describe it, check the preview, ask for a change, and on Creator install it on your phone.

![The first-app wizard with a habit tracker brief, the generated app in the preview, the habit screen after a change request, and the APK's QR code beside the phone's install page](https://fluxnative.app/guide-media/quickstart.e4626f5a.webp)

A brief in, a working app out, a change in plain words, then the app on your phone.

## 1. Describe the app

1. After sign-up you land on the dashboard. In its message box, say what the app does, who uses it and the first screens.
2. Optional: **Style** picks a look and a colour.
3. Click **Build my app**. A short brief shows 4 versions first: pick one or click **Use my words**. Then click **Build it**.

`A habit tracker for students. Home lists today's habits with a check button.
A habit detail screen shows a 30-day streak calendar. A stats tab shows weekly
completion. Calm, friendly look with a green accent. No sign-in yet.`

## 2. Review the preview

While the assistant works, the preview follows it as it tests its screens; click the preview to use it yourself. When the turn ends, click through the app. Use the route picker to jump to a screen and the device picker to switch phones.

## 3. Ask for a change

Name the screen, what is wrong, and what you want instead. If it goes the wrong way, click **Rewind** on that turn.

`On the habit detail screen, make the streak calendar bigger and show the
current streak number above it. Keep the rest of the screen as it is.`

## 4. Install it on your phone (Creator)

1. Click **Build**, choose **Android**, then **Installable APK**.
2. Accept the new signing key unless you already have one for this app.
3. Start the build. You pay only if it succeeds.
4. Scan the QR code with your Android phone. The link works for one hour.

**Tip:** The first time, Android asks to allow installs from outside the Play Store. That is expected for an APK you built.
